Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Paladin Lotus Select Badger
Cream: Vitos Eucalyptus
Razor: Merkur Futur
Blade: Vintage NOS Gillette Platinum Plus (2)
Post: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel / Myrsol Emulsion
Scent: Knize 10 EdT

First use of the Vitos cream. It was thirsty for a cream, indicative of its tallow content. Very slick and cushioning lather - impressive. The scent is a very natural eucalyptus.
Three passes for a DFS+. Then off to Northbridge for a catch-up with a good friend over a few refreshing beverages.
 
Pre - Hot shower
Brush - Yaqi Timber Wolf
Soap - DR Harris Windsor
Razor - Rockwell 6s (4)
Blade - Gillette 7 o’clock black (3)
Aftershave - AP Reserve Ozymandias

Haven’t broken out this soap for a good 12 months. Got a really good lather quickly which have a great 3 pass shave. This blade is going in the bin tonight as I know that I have better blades in my stash. 3 uses is probably enough for this one.

First time using a wk soap and it really is fantastic.im a bit mehnon the scent but the performance is excellent.grabbed the wrong splash bottle out of the cupboard by mistake,was meant to be Winterfall but ended up with Skyfall instead.it still works well so no biggie.

Brush: Proraso (Omega)
Razor: Karve (D plate) + WCS brass handle
Blade: Astra Green (2)
Scuttle/Bowl/Mug: PAA travel scuttle
Pre: Shower + PAA Cube
Soap: Wholly Kow La Fougere Parfaite
Post: Witch Hazel & Tea Tree Oil + Rockwell balm

Not the greatest idea deciding to shave with the Karve in the shower as I was too focused on not cutting myself and ended up with minor razor burn on my neck :( Would've been worse if it wasn't for the slickness from the lather. Guess there's always the next shave to perfect things... Have a great Monday!
 
Pre Shave: Shower, Wash face with Primal Earth face wash
Brush: Razorock Monster
Soap: Squadron scramble
Razor: Edwin Jagger DE89
Blade: Wilkinson Sword classic (1)
Post Shave: Alum, Squadron scramble AS, Primal Earth moisturiser

Three pass shave, twice wtg once xtg. I'm liking this razor/blade combo I got a little irritation but I'm sure that is more technique than anything else.
